"...a perfect excursion point for visits to
the surrounding wonders..."

At the
northernmost edge of the Gulf of Aqaba lies the small
town of Taba, a picturesque beach town that in ancient
times was once a stopover on the caravan route to the
Fort of Aqaba. In modern times, it is best known as the
last piece of land that was returned to Egypt following
Israel's occupation of Sinai.

Taba is situated right on the edge of
the Israeli border, which can be crossed on foot. The
town is a perfect excursion point for visits to the
surrounding wonders, such as The Island of the
Pharaoh and the Israeli city of
Eilat.
